At one time and another much has
been said against Dakota. Her people
have been called carpet-eaggers adven-
tnrers, quarrelsOme and unfit for self
government; her climate has been mis-
represented, and her soil and products
have not always been understood and
appreciated. But there is one respect
in which the name of Dakota has never
suffered-her credit has never been
questioned. A few years ago Territor-
ial warrants were registered. but they
drew interest and were duly paid. OF
late years, however, there have been
abundant funds 10 meet all demands,
and whenever any bonds have been of
fered for sale they have brought a
margin. The interest has been paid
the moment it fell due and the holders
stick to their securities as if there was
really a genuine ant deep seated affec-
tion between the person and the thing.
In his December bulletin Commissioner
Dunlap has the following TO Say on the
subject: The credit of the Territory
is so good abroad that Treasurer Ray
mond has been unable to call in any of
the 6 per cent bonds issued in 1851 for
the construction of the penitentiary at
Sioux Falls and insane hospital at
Yankton. The money to pay these
bonds, amounting to $1,000 lies in the
treasury, where the entire cash surplus
is about 500. .OOO.n

went to the house of Sheriff Colgen, who lives
near the scene of the traedgy, and informed
MIN OF what he had seen and Sheriff Colgan
proceeded to the scene and arrested three men
who were among a party of four, including the
deceased. One man who was arrested is sup
posed not to belong to the gang.
The murderer was last seen going up the rail-
road track. All the men in the gang are sup
posed TO have been intoxicated. Mr.. Roberts
visited the county jail, but could not say pos
1tively that he recognized the murderer. One
man in point of size and complexion answered
the description of the murderer but his feat
ures do. not correspond. The same man
felgned beastly intoxication at times when
arrested.
All the men arrested but one claim to have

whose name is James Muller. They say the
murderer who escaped called him Red" In
an interview at the Jail with the man who pur-
sued the murderer he said the murderer wanted
Muller to join in standing up men near the
bridge. Muller became indignant, and replied
that he was no crook. One word brought on
another, and fight ensued, when the muir
derer drew li-inch dagger and stabbed Muller
to the heart.
Soon after the stabbing Muller was taken to
an undertaker's. Upon undressing the body
two wounds were discovered, one large gaping
wound, two and one-half inches long, about two
inches below the left nipple, ranging diago-
nally across the body also slight wound one
inch to the right of the navel.
James Muller was apparently so years of age,
of sandy complexion, with sandy mustache, and
about five feet seven inches in hight. His hands
indicate that he is a laborer. The prisoners give
the following names George Newton, James
Carroll and Edward Duffey. Deceased and the
prisoners are strangers in this city. A posse are

NEW YORK, August 2ith.-[Special. l. Coy
ernor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, was elected
Chairman of the Interstate Extradition Conven-
tion to-day. Committees were appointed on
Law Practice and Forms, and Order of Bust
ness. The session ends tomorrow.
NEW YORK. August oith.-[Special The In
terstate Extradition Convention began its busi-
ness to-day with long report of the Committee
on Law and Practice before them. After some
general discussion, this resolution, which
practically negatived several suggestions of the
above committee, was adopted:
Rcsotred, That it is the sense of this confer
ence that in the recommendation of any legis-
lation upon the subject of extradtion such legis-
lation-in defining or enumerating the offenses
for which requisition shall be made and honored
shall not depart from the language of the Con-
stitution, to wit: treason, felony, or other
crimes.
This Recommendation of the committee was
adopted In no case shall the accused be re-
turned without first being offered an opportunity
to test the validity of the proceedings before a
judicial officer by habeas corpus, with the right
of appeal to the Court of last resort upon giving
a bond in bailable offenses, or remaining in a
prison or asylum of the State until the legality
of the proceedings are determined
After long discussion, this was finally adopted:
" Upon the surrender CT the accused he shall be
subject to arrest during his enforced stay in the
demanding State until reasonable time after
the termination of the proceeding for the crime
for which he was extradited has elapsed, to en-
able him TO return to the State from which he
had been taken upon civil or criminal process
of that state for any other e.ime existing at the
time the demand was made"

LONDON, August 2ith.-An open-air meeting
was held at Westminster this evening for the
purpose of denouncing the Government for its
action in proclaiming the Irish League. Sir
Nm. Vernon Hareourt addressed the meeting
He quoted Chamberlains statements of Satur-
day, to the effect that Ireland was free from
crime, and yet continued the speaker
:" Messrs. Chamberlain and colleagues, who
were opposed to coercion after the Phoenix
Park murders, c0untenance coercion now, when
Ireland is tranquil, even without the local Gov
eminent, which they formerly insisted upon as
an essential accompaniment. Mr.. Chamber
lain seems to like the principle but not
the application of coercion. He ought to
have known that to give the Tories Coercion
Act with. the advice not to use it would be like
putting tiger in cage with a man and en-
Joining the brute not to eat the man. The Gov
eminent used the Unionists as cat s-paw to
pass the coercion bill, and now they treat their
advice withcontempt and threaten TO dissolve
Parliament and annihilate the party if they
withdraw their support from the Government"
Referring to Lord harrington, he said he
would regret to hear that his absorption by the
Tory party had already been arranged for. but
hoped that lord Harrington would be warned in
time of the sad fate of Mr.. Goschen,
